Cool race car names!

Mine in 1970 was FRIENDZ and it was a Z28. I won a national championship with it in an AHRA class called GT-3 (a pro clsass at the time). Bill Hilshire (Mr Bardahl), Ronnie Sox (Gold Fish), Kevin Rotty, Gary Kimble, etc.

Here's the "Golden Rule" Camaro. I was at this race in 1974 at the old Ringgold, Georgia track named "Drag City". This Camaro was running in modified class, don't remember who owned it but it was an old pro stocker. Steve Bagwell drove a "Strange Stuff" 63 Chevy also. I don't know if it was the same one Max Smith had. I've got a picture of "Kid Goat" too. Precious Memories!

I haven't read all these many pages, so, this may have been answered, already, but forgive me if it has, please.

Somebody used to run a Stocker with the name "AFTER YOU" on the side of the car.

That sounded like the punch line to an interesting back-story, but I never heard the particulars...

Anybody remember that car? It raced for a long time......

It would be nice to know "After WHO?"

Then again, some things are better left unsaid, I guess...

I saw an IHRA super stock Nova named "Since You" in the eighties. It really did some nice wheelies.
